Anyone know of any good ways to catch carp on rod & reel? What baits did you guys use? Did you fish the bottom or use a float of some sort? I have an area on the Mississippi I fish usually for catfish but it has a ton of carp around it since it's a grain elevator so I wanna catch some carp just for the heck of it.

I fish the Bear River Bird Refuge for carp and cats. I've used a worm dipped in McDonald's fry sauce. A black guy taught me this trick one day out fishing. Works for me anyways...

The most enjoyable way is to force feed them an arrow! But ive also heard that if you add water to a box of wheaties then add strawberry koolaid mix. Stir it all up and then squeeze it into bite size balls around a hook and let dry in the sun to hardenthat it works great.

I've always had good luck with dough balls made with strawberry soda pop and wheaties. Fish em under a bobber or on bottom. either way works on carp. Brothers amd me used to fish the Canadian and Arkansas rivers, we'd catch wash tubs full of carp, then take em to town and sell em to people that new how to cook em.

That's weird. I thought corn was illegal everywhere. It works but it's a huge fine in my state.
